If you call the printFreeList() function after freeing all pointers in ptrArray, the function will loop endlessly printing the same 5 free blocks.

algfree should more intelligently add blocks to the free store by inserting a free'd block in such a way that the linked list is always sorted in ascending order. This would make the "first fit" algorithm used by algmalloc more efficient as it has to traverse fewer blocks to find one that is big enough.
